To Forest Defenders and Forest Protectors who have or would engage in direct action activism:

I am a writer and an environmentalist who approves of direct action in protecting forest, especially old-growth forest. That stated, I request that forest defenders engage in direct action which avoids their being assaulted, arrested, fined, jailed/imprisoned, or murdered. Unfortunately, the police officers that some forest defenders have been victim to were brute thugs with false authority which were sent to protect tree killers/commercial loggers (who are also extremely evil). The police (or anyone else for that matter) have NO moral right to assault, arrest, coerce/extort (i.e., fine), jail/imprison, or otherwise hurt or harm forest defenders. I oppose and condemn ALL police officers and “law enforcement” agencies that have or would allow the killing of trees and forests.

I have demanded that all logging, mining, drilling, and any other extractive industry in or destructive activity to forests and their waterways permanently END so that all forest habitats may remain alive, healthy, intact, and thriving.

It must be acknowledged that traditional Indigenous Peoples hold ANCESTRAL and TERRITORIAL rights to their Native homelands and that of their tribe(s). Non-corporate traditional indigenous people’s ancestral and territorial rights to the land and waters SUPERSEDE all non-tribal/non-aboriginal governmental laws in regards to the management of natural habitat. Any permit for resource extraction or industrial/infrastructural development issued by the non-aboriginal government is or would be NULL and VOID. Non-aboriginal police/”law enforcement” agencies have NO authority over indigenous people or the tribe’s ancestral & territorial rights to the fauna, flora, minerals, waters, and airspace of their traditional territory/ancestral homelands. 

Please inform any agent/invader of the resource extraction and industrial/infrastructure development companies they have NO moral, ancestral, or territorial right to be there.

Please remind all police/”law enforcement” agencies of the non-aboriginal/non-indigenous government that they have NO right to be anywhere unless they will kill loggers and otherwise safeguard the forest, wildlife, and forest defenders.

If you would like to know a bit about me, here is a short statement regarding some of my individual actions:

My biological human body intends to live until the year 2046; while it is living, it is dependent upon some of the amenities/technologies of modern civilization in order to live comfortably. However, in comparison to the average American or consumer in modern industrialized civilization, I live simply and have a relatively small ecological impact. Poverty (an annual income which is at or below the U.S. federal poverty level for an individual) has forced me to have a relatively small ecological impact as a consumer in modern industrialized civilization.

As to my individual actions to minimize my harmful ecological impact: I use recycling services; I reuse plastic bags or have them recycled; I compost; I have pollinator plants and a small vegetable garden which I intend to expand upon next season; I freeze and pickle what fresh produce I can; I don’t consume red meat and I previously adhered to a vegan diet for over a decade; the vehicle I drive is a hybrid and has low miles on it for its age; what trash/packaging can’t be recycled I’ve brought to my local landfill; I don’t have human-bodied children and I am not willing to procreate human-bodied life; the toilet paper and other paper towel products I use are made from bamboo & sugarcane or when that is not available to me, I use paper made from recycled, post-consumer content which I use sparingly/frugally; my treewood consumption has been extremely minimal/next to non-existent and the only circumstances in which I would burn treewood for a fire is if it came from naturally downed branches & trunks (i.e., from a storm and NOT ever from human’s actions). 

The lives of plants (especially trees/forests), animals, and their habitats are more important and more valuable to me than most human bodies.
And of course, the lives of forest defenders and forest protectors aren’t just important, they are invaluable to me. 

The only purpose and reason for human bodies to exist at this critical phase when the planet is threatened with the “Sixth Mass Extinction”, further habitat loss and environmental degradation, is to minimize (and keep minimal) one’s harmful ecological impact; clean up our own messes and unfortunately, the pollution from previous generations now deceased because all humans must do this; permanently END NOW all infrastructural development and commercial expansion; and prevent the human-bodied population from growing any larger.

From this day, September 27th, 2021, and onwards indefinitely, any woman and man who would procreate more than one human body dependent upon modern industrialized civilization or the killing of trees/forest would be committing an act of TERRORISM. Because of the inherent necessity of LIVING and intact forest habitats, especially and most crucially, OLD-GROWTH forests and other natural paradises, it should be apparent that the environment will not sustain current human population’s consumption levels on Planet Earth or an increase in the human-bodied population.

A human life born that is or would be dependent upon modern industrialized civilization and/or deforestation, degrades the quality of life for EVERYONE else because of the resulting habitat loss, encroachment upon others, the burden to the economy/cost to provide for and sustain that human life, the human body’s pollution, and the inorganic trash/waste of that human life which may not be recycled or incinerated.

There are climate-appropriate human bodies who are presently living, myself included, who have a right to life and what’s more, an improved quality of life (i.e., more nature, which includes most essentially for me and in my case: an abundance of forest for one’s health and psychological well-being and natural, uncontaminated bodies of water to swim in and/or drink from).

Regarding the old-growth forest of Fairy Creek in British Columbia and ALL other forest on Planet Earth:

I have demanded that all logging, mining, drilling, burning, and any other extractive industry in or destructive activity to forests or pollution to forest waterways permanently END effective as of 11:14 am EST on 12/21/2020, so that all forest habitats may remain alive, healthy, intact, and thriving.

In addition, it should be noted that traditional Indigenous Peoples hold ANCESTRAL and TERRITORIAL rights to their Native homelands and that of their tribe(s). Non-corporate traditional indigenous people’s ancestral and territorial rights to the land and waters SUPERSEDE all non-tribal/non-aboriginal governmental laws in regards to the management of natural habitat. Any permit for resource extraction or industrial/infrastructural development issued by a non-aboriginal government is or would be NULL and VOID. Non-aboriginal police/”law enforcement” agencies have NO authority over indigenous people or the tribe’s ancestral & territorial rights to the fauna, flora, minerals, waters, and airspace of their traditional territory/ancestral homelands.

It is also crucial to mention that trees, especially old-growth trees’/old-growth tree bodies’ inherent natural right to life SUPERSEDE that of all younger, aggressing and invading human bodies.

Please remind any human-bodied agent of the logging and other resource extraction and industrial/infrastructure companies they have NO moral, ancestral, or territorial right to be in or harm the forest.

Please inform any false authoritative police/”law enforcement” agency of the non-aboriginal/non-indigenous government, they have NO right to be anywhere unless they will kill loggers and other extractionists/industrialists and otherwise protect the living tree bodies/forest, wildlife, and forest defenders.

The only way to effectively stop a violent aggressor or invader is with the defensive use of force.

Human bodies that have killed old-growth trees/forest or who would kill any healthy tree/tree body or forest without my consent, should be treated as violent aggressors/invaders who have no moral right to life.

Sincerely,
